“Ocean City Adventure!”

Jun 27, 2013A Tripadvisor Member, Centreville

This was my husband and son's first trip to Ocean City. We went not only for fun, but my son had a baseball tournament in the area and this was the hotel the league chose. So to show team spirit, we were committed on staying at the property chosen.When I went to the Hojo website to look at the room category held. The basic room really didn't appeal to me, as this was my families first time to the area. So I decided to upgrade to the ocean front category. Balcony view was lovely, but honestly not $150 more a night! We ended up paying over $350 a night including tax for this property, and even though the location was great, for a Hojo's that pricing was ridiculous!So to get to our room, we had to take the slowest glass elevator ever! When we arrived to the top floor, our room was right across from the elevator bank. Never really heard any noise due to elevator passenger use, however at night when in bed when someone shut a door the whole floor would vibrate and shake. Annoying to stay the least.Then when entering the room, to the left was a mini kitchen station, with a sink, dishes, silverware, dish soap, microwave, mini fridge and coffee maker. Nice touch for saving money on breakfast/lunch items for a longer stay.Then on the right side, was the smallest bathroom I'd ever been in. However, have to give them props for use of space. They had notes in the bathroom they have been remodeling them to make them "green". There was a notice about the special water head that only allows 2.5 gallons of water dispersed a minute. Even with the new water shower head the water pressure was good. They had a little cabinet on the wall, to put additional personal items, and their was storage under the single sink unit. New marble floors/walls and bath fixtures were in place. Overall clean, and liked what they did to the room just wish it was a little bigger.As for the main room. We had two double beds, with full sofa bed in room, desk to work from, hanging rack area (no closet) and chest of drawers that had additional drawer space for close and held the flat screen TV. Good Wifi signal in the room. Two plastic chairs and table on balcony. Great AC. Heard from other team members that the other rooms didn't even have a tub, just shower stall.On site was a little cafe/restaurant which is open 730a-3pm. Good!Again, this room was OK for the two nights we stayed. I did love the boardwalk location, but still cannot justify this properties room rate
